Prop replicas

Just unearthed some rebreathers from DAD, one I bought somewhere, one I had made and another was by RB replicas - no idea which is which!!
Here are shots of the Moonraker Wrist dart guns I had made and used to sell - original Seiko NOS straps on these
Prop replicas was a lovely subject and I enjoyed trying to get the balance right between look, function and expectation. If many were made exactly as the prop sometimes they would be a let down and so some licence was always employed to create it to be more like you see on the screen.
Sometimes a few props were created to perform different functions and the replica maker has to find a way to incorporate all the features in one piece.
now where did I put that rotor blade for the 1:1 Little Nellie!

I love to see others work with props.
The two breathers with cross section are are the Russell jobbies, the one you made is more accurate -{
Love the dart guns, did they fire anything Nick ?
Now if I could get a working version that would put a new slant on darts at the pub
